is his call correct? is my push correct?

Re: satellite strategy question
 

Well considering you're going to be at 3,4 BBs next hand I like this push. Why? Because you're still quite a bit away from winning a seat and you're not going to fold your way there.

Having said that, you're only getting called by a hand that is ahead.

push is really standard

Re: satellite strategy question
 

sorry he had 99, I thought he should have folded.

Re: satellite strategy question
 

He knows that you have to push.

50 spots from the money he is probably 65/35 against your shove range making it a pretty easy call with his 99
